Future Shop had a 4GB Cruzer for something like $60 in their Boxing Week sale. I thing it's on sale again this week for $90ish. One issue that may come of this is that a lot of flash drives come with U3 software (which is actually pretty handy) on them, and a lot of PCs come with burning/packet writing software preinstalled, and the U3 software plays rather poorly with some packet writing software.
